Lancaster Arts is seeking applications for the second Nuffield Bursary: a practice-based initiative offering one artist, company or collective the opportunity to undertake a supported residency. Lancaster Arts actively supports the development of artistic practice across contemporary performing arts, visual arts and classical music.

The 2017 bursary offers:

1 x 2 day initial exploratory residency in May 2017 during Lancaster Arts’ OPEN programme 15th & 16th May

1 x 7 day period working at Lancaster Arts 11th – 17th September (including 5 days with technical support)

Up to 1 day fundraising support from Lancaster Arts Creative Producing team

Additional rehearsal spaces/creative time in other suitable spaces (subject to availability) on Lancaster University campus

A cash investment of £1,000

Previous bursary winners Needless Alley Collective said of the scheme:

“Receiving the Nuffield Bursary was an invaluable experience for us as a collective and as individual makers. It allowed us to have the space and resources to explore our practice on a larger scale and lay down the foundations to further our experimental aesthetics without the pressure of churning out a show at the end of it.”
